The debate on primate experimentation

There is literally a debate planned in the UK, where 130 MPs have already signed a charter that would prohibit all primate experimentation.

See: BUAV: Debate on primate experimentation

Point: Experimentation on apes is unethical

Counterpoint: There is a clear distinction between humans and other great apes thus experimentation is justified.

Bright lines and distinctions aren't the hallmark of evolution - think continuity.
